My Company

For a decade, I accompanied tour groups and delegations from all over the world through Europe. With this knowledge and wealth of experience, I developed seminars for hoteliers and tourism experts to train their understanding of cultural differences. This is how my company AK Kommunikation, now ak – Anna Kauert, was founded in Berlin in 2010.

Since then, I have been working as a freelance trainer with a focus on communication, team development and international cooperation. I mainly train managers, teams and students. Over the course of time, mediation has been added as a topic. Today I work in this field in a preventative or curative capacity, often in Franco-German cooperation. My working languages are German, English and French.

Trainer-Profil (PDF)

Foreign countries and cultures fascinated me from an early age. As soon as I could, I began traveling. Back home, I dreamed of faraway places.

Growing up in East Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg quarter, I was fascinated by the cultural diversity that soon became established there in the 1990s, after German reunification. The fall of the Berlin Wall had a huge effect on my formative years and opened up new horizons.

After graduating from high school, I went to Paris to work as an au pair for a large French family. Sharing my life with them made a lasting impression on me. I discovered not only the country and the culture, but also intercultural differences. My fascination with France persisted.

I returned regularly, and still do. In 2009, I spent another year in Paris, this time as a cultural mediator. The prejudices and intercultural differences that I encountered during my work led to my desire to work as an intercultural trainer. Once fully qualified, I founded my company AK Kommunikation, today ak – Anna Kauert.
